Class description

This workshop is for students who are completely new to pen making.

Your teacher, Matt will discuss the basics of pen making. You’ll have your own lathe and plenty of hands-on time to work on a range of different pens.

Leave your class having completed your project and with fun new skills to practice at home!

Suitable for beginners with no experience up to intermediate students. Children 14+ are welcome to participate in this course.

Please note, we require a parent or guardian to be on the premises for the duration of the class if a minor is attending.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

Every pen you craft is a treasure to take home. As you shape, refine, and assemble each one, not only do you create a functional writing instrument, but you also acquire valuable skills and share memorable experiences within our community of pen makers. And at the end of the day, you get to take these cherished pens home with you.

WHAT TO BRINg

PPE will be supplied however students wishing to bring their own should come with a face mask, safety glasses or goggles and earmuffs or earplugs.

Those with their own turning chisels should also bring them along to get better accustomed at using them but we also supply all tools if you don’t have any.
